As Republicans lead in early gubernatorial polling in California, state Democrats have hatched a scheme to change the rules ahead of the primary in June.
PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: California Democrats are trying to overturn the state’s primary system as two Republican candidates lead the polls.
📺 DETAIL: California uses a system in which the top two candidates at the primary stage, regardless of party affiliation, progress to the general election. The system was implemented in 2010 when Proposition 14, supported by then-Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), passed with 54 percent of the vote. The system is meant to favor supposedly moderate candidates, although it has been criticized for limiting voter choice. According to early polls, two Republican candidates, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, the former of whom is backed by President Donald J. Trump, are leading the state’s crowded gubernatorial race. In response, Democrat political consultant Steve Maviglio filed a petition last week to overturn the state’s current system ahead of the June primary.
